One small step for Abby, one giant leap for Mommy!

Today was a big day. Abby sleeps in the bassinet part of her Pack N' Play in our room at night. It works perfect since it's big and roomy and we like to have her so close to us. Funny enough - she doesn't make so much as a peep during the night. It's almost too quiet for me! And it's much easier to feed her in the middle of the night - and easier for me to check on her. Which I do often. :)

However, I've been wanting to get her to take daytime naps in her crib so that when we do make the transition for her to sleep in her own room, I want it to be easy and familiar to her. But the problem is...she doesn't nap. Ever. Or if she does it's always in her swing.

But today is a different day. I don't know if it's because she's getting older or if I just got lucky...but not only is she currently napping, she is doing so in her CRIB! She started yawning and rubbing her eyes so I jumped on those "sleepy signs" and immediately swaddled her and laid her in the crib. I sat out of her sight for a solid 19 minutes (yes, I was watching the clock!) while she fought sleep. She wasn't fussing, crying or upset - she just wasn't going to let herself sleep. But then it happened...she gave in.

Funny how these little things are so BIG now!
